EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient times - the Goddess with upraised arms and bird symbols on her head. Created between 1200-1100 BC, this Minoan figurine is one of the largest known in Crete, discovered in the postpalatial settlement at Karphi. The goddess depicted here exudes an aura of divine power and grace as she raises her arms towards the heavens. Adorned with intricate bird symbols on her head, she embodies both earthly and celestial energies. This artwork is a testament to the rich artistic tradition of Minoan civilization. Located in the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion, Crete, Greece, this sculpture offers us a glimpse into ancient Greek culture and mythology. The Minoans were renowned for their advanced society and sophisticated artistry. As we admire this piece, we are transported back in time to an era when gods and goddesses held great significance in people's lives. Their worship was intertwined with daily existence, offering guidance and protection. The symbolism present in this sculpture speaks volumes about ancient beliefs - birds often represented messengers or intermediaries between humans and deities. This connection to nature underscores the importance placed on harmony with the natural world. Through its exquisite craftsmanship and profound symbolism, this photograph invites us to explore not only ancient history but also our own spiritual connections to divinity and nature itself.
